Man with a Movie Camera (1929)
(via merlin)
This film is great. But it’s even greater with the Cinematic Orchestra Score, which thankfully is included in this version.

But seriously kids, watch this....

So This Is Christmas...
Yes that’s right folks, I finished it in time for Christmas. I don’t think I’ve ever managed that…
I had so much time I even made it it’s very own site.
So download the 2009 Christmas Mix CD, “So This Is Christmas…” and throw out that Mall Musak your parents listen to.
Trust me, this is way better.
Have a very Merry Christmas (or whatever you...

Someone tell the Photoshop team that Fireworks... →
adobegripes:

Winter Wonderland.
It’s December fifth, and as you might be able to tell things are starting to get rather festive around here. I’m currently sitting here sipping on a homemade peppermint HoCho (or Hot Chocolate for those of you over the age of 16) and working on this year’s bi-annual Christmas Mix CD.

Client: “Hm, the picture is not fitting to the screen?”
We: “Of course, the 16:9 format will not fit on a 4:3 screen so it will be scaled down to fit the screen horizontally and you have these black bars on top and bottom.”

Client: I want the colour to be white but somehow black.
Me: [speechless]

Client: I love the website, but I can’t look at it on my computer. Could you make me a DVD of it, so I can go through it on my telly?
Me: Not really. A website isn’t a movie and it wouldn’t work on a DVD, you need to view it in a browser on your computer.
Client: What’s a browser?
